Thanks for posting the Greyzone interview, Natalie. What’s become clear is that there are protestors that are not associated with Navalny but I found it difficult to define any specific aims except that both Katya and Alexey appear to position themselves somewhere on the non-neoliberal left. I got the impression that they might represent regions that feel under-represented in the Russian federation, rather than anything ideologically based.
As far as Navalny is concerned I was pleased that Aaron made clear his association with Bellingcat and its covert propaganda mission. It seems he is either naive or a political chameleon.
The overall impression is that many Russians have become impatient with Putin. There is talk of corruption but I haven’t heard any specific proposals on just what could be done to change that administratively.
